Great read.
Detroit goalie Tim Cheveldae was another who employed outlandish threads to pull his team together. The heavily favored Red Wings trailed the Minnesota North Stars 3-1 in the opening round of the 1992 playoffs when Cheveldae showed up at the rink wearing a garish mustard-colored sport coat which in the past had resulted in much abuse being heaped on his fashion sense.
It worked, and when Cheveldae posted a shutout in Game 5, he donned the coat for Game 6, hanging up another zero. A 5-2 victory in Game 7 completed a hat trick of wins for Cheveldae's haberdashery, but the mustard-colored coat couldn't cut the mustard in the second round against Chicago, where the Blackhawks posted a four-game sweep of Detroit.
